    #3 is exactly what I'm scared of.

    With that Cutch deal, I'm mentally preparing myself now to see Nick Markakis, 4-hole hitter roll on for the Braves for at least 1 more year.
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    I don’t know why we don’t give the chance to Hamilton 1 year deal. Maybe Seitzer he can work some magic.

    Absent all other possible avenues, probably.

    However, I have to assume AA has a trade for someone like Haniger or Frazier primed, otherwise he wouldn’t be bidding on Happ.

    Or Pederson/Puig/Rosario etc. Too man many options for people to worry about resigning Markakis or whatever yet

    Puig has always made some sense despite the protestations of the folks blabbering about the clubhouse.

    So total rebuild is off the table, then?

    This is why I think the Braves are waiting to see who signs Harper and if it’s the Dodgers, AA goes back to his buddies and works a deal for Pederson.
